(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well, I have a Droid 2 and I was wondering what exactly does it mean to root? Also, are the advantages really worth it or should I just leave it alone?

Rooting is like jailbreaking ps3 or jtag'ing xbox.

So you access System files and you can run more aps.

And YES you should root, there is much root apps on market.

As above said, you should root. Besides the root apps on the market, the best part about root is pure customization. Also, once you are rooted, you have the ability to back up your entire phone sysstem/data/cache state at any point and recover it. We also have the SBF files now, so you can actually NEVER break your phone to where it will need replaced (system wise), not saying go smash it with a hammer...

Themeing the phone, the apps, backups, ROMS.... root its easy too. Look for z4root in some of the forums, if you cannot locate it, I will link ya.

Its like being an administrator in windows.

About how long does z4 take..? It's been going for like 5 minutes now saying "Running exploit in order to obtain root access..."

It took about 10 min with me.

Dont worry

what teh firetruck.. i hit the home button on accident and now z4 won't open. it just white screen.s :FU:

Uninstall the app, reinstall..

Rooting gives you Super User permissions on your phone, for example: Access System Files, Download ROOT-Only apps, Download Custom ROMs. and also Overclock/Underclock your phone's cpu.(Application)
